Multiple claims, never had a bad experience

I’ve filed multiple claims with pets best over the last 5 years and never had an issue. They’re fast, reasonable and claims are super easy to submit.

I work in the vet med field and deal…

I work in the vet med field and deal with many insurance companies. I am satisfied with the communication I receive from PB especially compared to other companies that will not keep policy holders in the know with what is going on with their claims. Great coverage for the cost and they don’t try to skirt away from their responsibility as the insurance company. Too often I see people being denied for claims for absurd reasons from other companies. We ALWAYS recommend Pets Best to our clients and hope they have as much success with them as we do!

Max’s email reaction

I was frustrated when I called regarding a response for a claim I submitted and she listened, understood and explained the situation. She then updated my information and all was solved. Thank you for you patience and understanding.
